PepTalk-Plaza

Conferences are designed for building connections. Sometimes though, you need a designated meeting space and common interest to make those connections. We are excited to offer the PepTalk Plaza as a gathering place to facilitate connections.

The PepTalk Plaza located in the Exhibit Hall provides a meeting spot for people with similar interests to convene and construct a plan to take advantage of all that PepTalk: The Protein Science Week has to offer.

Speed Networking 

Bring yourself, your business cards, and be prepared to share and summarize the key elements of your research in a minute. PepTalk will provide a location, timer, and fellow attendees to facilitate the introductions. 

Focus on Women in Science 

CHI celebrates the advancement of diversity in the life sciences. We recognize that barriers preventing women from fully participating in the sciences are not just barriers to equality, but also critically deter scientific advancement worldwide. We invite the entire scientific community to discuss these barriers, as we believe that all voices are necessary and welcome.

Join fellow scientists and discuss your personal and professional journey.
